After five years of coaching in the college ranks, former Southlake Carroll head coach Todd Dodge is returning to the high school sidelines again. As the River Cities Daily Tribune reported on Monday, Dodge announced he’d be taking over as the head football coach and athletic director at Marble Falls High School next season.

“I looked at it as an opportunity for all of us,” he told the River Cities Daily Tribune. “I’m thrilled to be back in high school. Frankly, it’s my passion. I want to be a high school coach in the state of Texas in a high school town. I think you really get a chance to make a difference, more so in the high school level.”

Before leaving high school football to take over as the head coach at the University of North Texas in 2007, Dodge won four state titles at Southlake in a five-year span. Instead of going back to 5A, Dodge decided instead to coach 4A Marble Falls and move to the Hill Country.

“Many years ago when I played at the University of Texas, I always had a real desire to coach in the Hill Country,” he told the River Cities Daily Tribune. “I’ve had so many texts, ‘You’re finally getting to the Hill Country.’ Frankly I’m just thrilled.”
